Question

He graph shows the distance Henry drives on a trip. What is Henry’s speed

Answer 1

Answer: 60 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation: took the quiz

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Speed

`=\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time taken}}`

When you will observe the graph

Time is represented on X axis

And , Distance traveled is represented on Y axis.

In 5 hours ,Henry travels a distance of 300 miles.

So, in 1 hour distance traveled by Henry

`=(300)/(5)\\\\=60` miles

So, Speed of Henry

`=60 (miles)/(hour)`

Speed can be calculated by this method also

`=\frac{\text{Difference in two y values lying on the straight line}}{\text{Corresponding x values}}\\\\=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\\\=(300-0)/(5-0)\\\\=60 (miles)/(hour)`

Option D: 60 miles per hour
